    I'm another one that doesn't really eat fruit but I love vegetables.

    Once I year I buy a watermelon and scarf it in two days though.

    My husband makes fun of me a lot because I apparently eat vegetables "like fruit" and it looks weird. I do stuff like take whole bell peppers or cucumbers out of the fridge and eat them whole like I would an apple. I ate about a pound of cucumber like that yesterday sitting in front of the TV. I think I just like the cold watery-ness in summer especially.

    Ughh, but I live with someone who's just like that.

    I love a cucumber, straight up. I've been considering biting into a pepper like that too. There's something really satisfying about chowing down on a whole cucumber. Some people eat vegetables like they're afraid of them. I can easily eat two whole peppers, a cucumber and a tomato for lunch, plus protein source.

    I usually eat all my carbs in the morning after my bike ride, fruit for brunch, and protein for lunch. The fruit helps hold me until my 2pm lunch time. Usually strawberries, grapes, blueberries, and sweet cherries.

    So far today I've just eaten a peach (along with my morning cereal). For lunch, I'm having peas and green beans with a chicken sausage.

    I had two apples and a banana with breakfast, and lunch was egg salad with about half a large diced red onion, a handful of capers and a whole jar of sliced gherkins. Do capers and gherkins even count as vegetables though? I dunno. For dinner I'm having some pork & chorizo sausages with a big bag of salad. It's about 350-400g, so it will probably be enough for a couple of platefuls.

    Last night I was craving Mexican food but am trying to be healthier so stopped at the Mexican market and bought sopes (handmade corn tortillas shaped like small cups) then threw chopped carrots, bell pepper, onion, and cherry tomatoes and a chipotle pepper in a pan with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and cooked the veggies until they were just *slightly* crispy. At the same time, toasted the sopes in the toaster oven. Took out the chipotle pepper. Filled the sopes with black beans and 1/4 cup of cheddar and dumped the veggies on top and then put some salsa on top of that. It was delicious! May make it again with chicken for more protein.

    I had a salad for lunch and a strawberry cheesecake Blizzard for breakfast. I'm counting the 3 strawberries in the Blizzard.

    Lol. I'm reminded of when I was pregnant and used to log my vegetables in effort to get myself to eat more, and one day had to face the fact that "pizza sauce" was my sole entry.

    I also ate almost 400g of strawberries.

    I'm now over my calorie goal for the day. Oops. Well, that could be down to the two mint chocolate ice cream bars I ate, BUT I AM BLAMING THE STRAWBERRIES!

    Black grapes for breakfast, a can of drained pineapple chunks for lunch and probably a can of drained peaches for dinner. I have to keep my sodium intake at a reasonable level and fruits are a good way to get carbs while keeping sodium down.

    As for veggies, I may have a salad to go with those peaches.
    Fresh fruits will keep your sodium down even more

    I finished off the cantaloupe I had, plus 1 of the 2 2# tubs of strawberries is gone. Crossing my fingers the second tub will be mostly not rotten.

    When strawberries start to get overripe, I usually puree them, then freeze them into cubes in an ice cube tray. Then you can add them to smoothies if wanted.

    At lunch, I had all the veggies on my turkey sub then added half an avocado to the sandwich and had a side of cherry tomatoes. Dessert was strawberries and a peach.

    Dinner included kale chips, green beans and a kiwi fruit.
